Hypothetical Spec

[Colonel Mitch]

And your getting 4gb ram with a 32 bit os....... POINTLESS

EDIT: also WTF £65 for a normal laser etched keyboard with backlights????

EDIT2: and whats the 2TB storage about, i assume your gunna raid it but if u want it for speed get 1 1tb drive and 2 faster smaller ones

EDIT3: Just noticed... in your 1.3k gaming dream machine... you dont even have the top card nvidia produce! (and you shuda gone with ati)

Basically LOL

[Calneon]

Yeah WTF ORIC?

[Colonel Mitch]

OH - and also.... I assume your gunna run it on your bench... COZ U DONT HAVE A CASE

[Target]

LOL ORIC EPIC FAIL, clearly put no thought and effort into this thread oric and it hurts, just tryin to make us all more active, at least put something pointful up, like this http://www.alienware.co.uk/product_d...de=SKU-DEFAULT
clearly its worth the money, not a huge rip off at all :P

[Isphera]

This is why I posted it up, what would you guys recommend I do. One thing before you say anything, I have a massive prejudice against ATI. I dont know why, but I'd prefer nVidia.

EDIT - Knowing how much of a collection whore I am, I probs would need 2TB eventually :S But your right, it is a bit excessive

EDIT2 -

OH - and also.... I assume your gunna run it on your bench... COZ U DONT HAVE A CASE

I said at the beginning I wouldn't include a case yet, my opinion is confused.

Yeh let's all shout at oric GTFO NUB

It's been a long time comming.

[Calneon]

Woah Seven ARGH Thirty-seven, that is SO worth everthing because it's so shiny!

[Calneon]

GTX260 is good value, about the same as a 4870. Mitch, your spec also doesn't have a monitor which Oric did, and to make use of the 4870X2 you're gonna want a 24"+ which will cost £200-300.

Also, keyboard, mouse, speakers, headset, webcam, all for £24? Talk about cheap, seriously, everything will break two days after you get it. I also don't like the PSU, you need something hefty for the 4870 but also from a reliable brand which I don't think that one is. It looks cheap. The Blu-Ray drive is a waste unless you watch DVDs on your PC. And you don't have an OS, are you seriously suggesting he pirates an OS?

[Isphera]

Can I just say, who's the noob now Piers

[Chalex4]

Well, I was going to post a reply disagreeing with almost everything you put in your original spec., but that seems to have already been done!!

Colonel Mitch and Phantom seem to have said what I would have said (ish). You want an i7 processor, 280 or X2 GFX card, reliable power supply (personally I like corsair and antec), decent ram (> 4GB these days would be good - probably GSkill, corsair or OCZ), not a ripoff keyboard (I still love my G15), bluray drive (if I was building now, I would buy one (if I had spare cash)), and there aren't many i7 mobos anyway right now, so either an Asus or Gigabyte for now I think. For an OS, I would still go with something 64 bit, so probably Vista 64 since XP 64 sucks balls. The case is always subjective, but you want something with enough space, and perhaps a removable mobo tray.

[Isphera]

Can you explain the diff between 32 and 64 bit?

[VoX]

64-bit allows you to use all of your RAM, 32-bit limits you to just over 3GB. That is ofcouse if the application supports 64-bit, if not it is run in 32-bit and you simply only use 3GB of RAM on that App.

Check most games, some do include an ATI requirement, but not all. Games which one of them back is likely not to have a requirement for the other, although it will work fine.

PhysX is only nVidia.

[Isphera]

Ok, here is the updated one. Just saying again, I am not getting a PC, I just wanted to form a basis to begin to start about thinking. I am at least a year or two out. I have stuck with nVidia, I havent included a monitor - unsure which one, and I might change the case.

Create a new thread Target, then I am sure you will get loads of suggestions.
